When Pitchford Hall was sold in 1992, the contents of the family home were put up for auction. It was heartbreaking to witness – but now, with the family back at the Hall – they are focussing on a worldwide hunt for the treasures of the collection. In this episode of American Viscountess at Pitchford Hall, I hear about the search and helps hang one of the most treasured paintings, and meets Violet Roberts, who has kept the spirit of Pitchford alive for over 30 years.
